Brew for about 1 min. 30 sec. 4. Pour out every last drop. Being a shade-cultivated tea, gyokuro is rich in theanine-an amino acid responsible for gyokuro's full-bodied mellow sweetness and slightly viscous nature. In Japan, there is a special name for this taste: umami. Generally, the higher the grade, the richer the umami taste. While many teas are served hot and consumed as a means to quench a thirst, gyokuro is different. A typical serving is a precious 1/3 of a teacup at a very comfortable 60 C. Indeed, gyokuro's refined luxurious taste is meant to be savored, not rushed. For seasoned gyokuro drinkers who prefer a slightly weaker umami taste, Kakurei is an excellent choice. If you find that you like the basic character of Kakurei, but want a tea with a bit less sweetness, then we recommend that you try Tekiro. For a more full-bodied gyokuro, try our Rimpo. As a gift for someone special or for yourself, we have packaged our Kakurei in this attractive can with our trademark orange Ippodo label. This medium-sized can is perfect for tea enthusiasts who enjoy their tea a few times a day. Encased in a gift box and special Ippodo wrapping paper.
